Patriots' Hobbs: Packers erred in covering Giants
New England Patriots cornerback Ellis Hobbs has watched the film and has learned from what he sees as the Packers' mistakes in covering the New York Giants' receivers in the NFC championship game on Jan. 20.
When Frank Dell'Apa of the Boston Globe asked him how best to defend against the Giants' receivers, Hobbs said: "You have to get as tight and as close as you can to them."
Wait a minute. Isn't that what the Packers did?
"There were flaws in (Green Bay's) game plan. There were errors in judgment. We saw some things that could have been done better," Hobbs said, "and we are looking to take advantage of that."

You gotta hand it to the Giants. They took advantage of all their opportunities. The Packers had their chances. If Bush had just fallen on the fumble instead of trying to pick it up and run. Shoulda, coulda, woulda.
